Abstract: For a positive integer $m$ and a subgroup $Lambda$ of the unit group $(mathbbZ/mmathbbZ{)}^{i}mes$, the corresponding generalized Kloosterman sum is the function $K(a,b,m,Lambda)=su{m}_{uinLambda}e(fracau+b{u}^{-1}m)$. Unlike classical Kloosterman sums, which are real valued, generalized Kloosterman sums display a surprising array of visual features when their values are plotted in the complex plane. In a variety of instances, we identify the precise number-theoretic conditions that give rise to particular phenomena.
